How can a user unsubscribe from all mail? The page is very unclear and the user should be able to select multiple options.
The site has the user select confusing options for what they actually want to do. OK proceeds to cancel the order, and cancel returns to the order.
Here’s a ridiculous example of a deceptive dark pattern. Looks like advertising and analytics cookies are off by default, but the red button actually turns them on. You have to click «more options» to keep it disabled.

It says: You will also recieve our newsletter. Easy to unsubscribe. It has a checkbox that says: Okay, i understand. And if not checked, a warning appears forcing you to check it. Bad impression in the first 2 minutes.
This is the worst cookie permissions menu I've seen. You can't tell what is turned on and what is off. The default when the menu opens up is the top three, with off in gray. When you click on off, you see both off and on without a gray filter. So is this on or off?
Over 680 trackers and options for one webpage. "Accept all" or open each single item from a dropdown to opt-out.
This is insane.
This is how the software company does its best to raise the threshold for purchasing a cloud service.
You can’t get out of the contract without talking to the “customer success team”.
"No, I don't like savings"
I don’t want to turn into a data bore, but I’m really beginning to notice what I’ll call ‘consent architecture’. A single click of a massive button to let all the cookies do all the tracking. Or manually unclicking every button, one by one
Practical and possible are v. Different

Impressed with this bug! #DarkUX This is a license purchase dialog for a software. Pay close attention to the UX: User looks at the price £2.50. Goes to Lifetime License. New price is £29.99. Animation brings out an input. User attention shifts to completing the transaction.
